Plex in Docker without Plex Account keeps me redirecting to the login page

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hi,

I am using plex without plex account on my local network. I wanted to use the docker version on my NAS but it keeps me redirecting to the sign-in page (https://app.plex.tv/auth/bla-bla…). Does anyone else experincing simimlar issues?

This is how I configured docker with bridge network:

docker run
-d
–restart always
–name plex
-m 2GB
-p 32400:32400/tcp
-e TZ=“Europe/London”
-e ADVERTISE_IP=“192.168.0.2:32400”
-e ALLOWED_NETWORKS=192.168.0.0/24,10.3.4.0/24
-h PLEX
-v /plex/database:/config
-v /plex/transcode-tmp:/transcode
-v /plex/data:/data
plexinc/pms-docker:1.10.1.4602-f54242b6b

Local network: 192.168.0.0/24
NAS IP (also Docker host): 192.168.0.2
Docker (bridge) network: 10.3.4.0/24
Docker gateway: 10.3.4.1
PMS Container: 10.3.4.3

Thanks,
Martin

Here is how I solved it:
0. remove your container if you already started it & also remove any files from the database directory

  1. install plex media server on a linux machine (ubuntu virtual machine in my case) & make sure it is connected to your local network (in my case it has an IP address on the following network: 192.168.0.0/24 do not use NAT for the VM network)
  2. open plex web from a browser http://<plexip>:32400/web/index.html (this loaded properly instead of the container)
  3. by following this migration guide I copied plex database files to the folder I specified for my container as a database directory
  1. start your pms container

This worked for me just make sure you use the proper folder structure in your database directory. Feel free to share if you have an easier solution.
